About this Coffee
A Medium Blend of Colombian, Ethiopian, Rwanda and Sumatra Coffee Beans
The beauty of blending is the opportunity to cross boundaries and create coffees that simply don’t exist anywhere else in the world. Romeo No.5 stems from our love affair with coffee; it’s a process we call romancing the bean. We have selected a bouquet of flavours (caramel, wine and berries), combined these with a near perfect body then added heart-skipping brightness. Because the founding theme was love, the four coffees by their nature, virtually selected themselves. If you have never fallen in love with a coffee before then throw caution to the wind and take a chance on Romeo No.5!
To stage this blend, we have called on four players; Ethiopia, Colombia, Rwanda and Sumatra. Each bean adds a separate characteristic that when combined performs magnificently and sings when you add milk.
The Colombian adds body and caramel sweetness, the Ethiopian and the Rwandan adds berry flavours and bright acidity, while the Sumatran adds body, texture and some lifted blackcurrant notes. With this combination, we have produced a Gold Medal winner. Romeo No.5 brews best through the plunger with a little milk added. This is a coffee you will fall in love with.
